I submitted an application online and was contacted within a week. I had one phone interview that lasted approximately 45 minutes. Roughly the first half consisted of data structure and algorithm design questions. I have listed the two questions that I remember off the top of my head. The second half consisted of answering interview question number four.

Interview
Posted my resume on mosnster.com and careerbuilder.com. A recruiter from Amazon.com contacted me days later. First phone interview was set up with one team. It went well and a second phone interview with another team was set up. It went well too and an onsite interview as scheduled. I then flew to Seattle and met 8 interviewers in one day, lasting from 9 to 3:30. I thought i did OK but didn't get the offer.

Interview
I had applied online and received an email scheduling my first phone interview within a week. The interviewer was very helpful and kind. As said in the email, the interview was based on data structures and algorithm complexity.
He asked me to write a program based on arrays and binary tree.
1) Write a program to find the largest sum of two consecutive integers in an array?
2)How to find the height of binary tree?
3)Why amazon?
I cleared the first one and my second phone screen is in next week.
My advice is to revise data structures, algorithm complexity and be honest if you dont know any answer. You can give some information closest to the given question.
Be confident :)
